I finally decided to pay attention to the front suspension on my TR6.   The 
car has always driven very well but had too much negative camber in the  front 
wheels.  I took all the shims out a couple or three years ago and it  
improved, but not exactly right.  
I have taken the suspension apart and have found what I consider to be  
excess play between the vertical link and the trunnion.  I am cleaning  
everything 
up and rebushing but would like the lists opinion on the fit.   If I pin the 
lower A arms to the floor with my foot (upper A arms removed) so  the vertical 
link is, well . . .vertical, I can wiggle the vertical link at the  ball joint 
about 1/4" back and forth which would translate to  camber at the wheel.  All 
of the play I am talking about is between  the link and the trunnion.  I 
cannot turn the trunnion down any more.
This is my question.  Since the link is steel and the trunnion is  brass, 
will replacing just the trunnion correct this?  What can I expect  for play 
with 
new trunnions?
 
TIA
